When the classical band Spark meets Sandie Wollasch, a special concert experience is guaranteed. What jazz great Nils Landgren says about his colleague is like an accolade: "Sandie Wollasch is a free spirit with a great voice whose expressiveness has only grown in depth over the years. Here sings a woman who knows what she wants and masters the entire spectrum of emotions."
Just like Spark, Wollasch enjoys constantly reinventing herself and living out her passion on stage. So it's high time to let the sparks fly together. With great flair, the six musicians focus on an exciting mix of styles from classical, pop, jazz, folk and avant-garde. They wrap songs that connect people with nature in an exciting new sound.
These include pop hits, jazz standards and film scores such as Dust In The Wind, Norwegian Wood, Light My Fire, Orange Colored Sky and Moon River, as well as unknown and unheard pieces from different eras and genres. The original arrangements are perfectly tailored to Sandie Wollasch's extraordinary voice.
At the same time, they show off Spark's impressive virtuosity and sheer endless sound variations to full effect, as the group draws on a rich array of up to forty instruments - from the twenty-centimeter-long sopranino recorder to the violin, viola, cello, piano and melodica to the two-meter-high square bass.
